  • Fill up dumpling wrappers as desired.
  • Steam for 20minutes, checking to see if dumpling is cooked.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

All ingredients can be put through a food processor to save time. Otherwise, chop very finely so as to not tear the Dumpling skin.
The Dumpling Wrapper comes in 2 shapes (round or square). Shape doesn't matter, depends on personal preference. However, it is important to get one that is suitable for steaming. This is normally indicated on the packaging.
Bamboo Steamer or a standard steamer can be used. Bamboo steamer will have to be placed on a stand, in a pot with boiling water.
When wrapping dumpling, place it on palm, place filling and tuck in the sides quickly from several angles to achieve that 'pleat look'. See photo below.
An alternative way to fold dumplings (for closed dumplings) would be to place filling on a square piece of dumpling wrapper, fold it into a triangle and seal off sides. Bring opposite triangle edges together,sealing off with corn starch.
